I also had a used one with a rather floppy secretarial pocket from Ebay around 1.5 years earlier and sold it with no need for using it by that time. Now, I am going to see how well the secretarial pocket is holding up over time of use. Some times a binder can be like shoes, where second hand items do not always have a perfect fit.
